Rumpaka went crazy with his gaze that made Skyra's heart continue to beat wildly, she didn't understand why the man could act strange in front of him, an attitude that was very different from when he was at the office this morning, which looked so scary and feared by his employees. However, now his gaze and attitude depict someone who was admiring women to the point of making him feel awkward and uncomfortable.
Skyra can't stay in this position for long, she has to go away for a while to normalize her situation to avoid copying crazy like her boss or staring at each other for too long, she is afraid of unwanted feelings.
"Excuse me, I want to go to the toilet first, sir," said Sky, who was about to leave the man.
However, Rumpaka grabbed his wrist first, preventing him from leaving because it could be seen from Sky's movements that he wanted to get away from him, not purely because he needed to go to the toilet.
A situation like this forced Skyra to look at each other with Rumpaka when the two hands were still intertwined. Without Skyra realizing it, she continued to stare at her superior's face from close quarters, while occasionally swallowing saliva because the man's face was very handsome, maybe it could be said that God's creation was perfect, there was no the slightest gap when viewed from any side his handsomeness was still ninety-nine percent. However, not with his annoying and scary attitude, a minus in Rumpaka.
Realizing, Sky lowered his gaze. Twice the man had dared to touch his limbs, although not in sensitive areas. However, it can make things awkward.
"Let go of my hand, Mr. Rum," asked Sky, who was still polite, trying to get out of the tight grip of that guy who didn't seem to want to let go.
Sky's antics couldn't make Rumpaka let go easily, because his strength was stronger than her.
"I've been silent for a while with your attitude and suspicion towards me, I haven't even told you why I'm acting like that to you for what reason!" concluded Rumpaka who finally let out a cold voice, as usual, it was able to make Sky start to fall silent, not daring to open her mouth to refute. Rumpaka brought out his true nature which had been covered by a smiling mask that made him shake his head.
Slowly, Rumpaka let go of Sky's wrist that he had been holding for a long time, without being asked by the woman who was still stumbling.
Now, Sky is back in an awkward state seeing Rumpaka's attitude that has returned to its original. However, it was better than continuing to stare at him strangely. Sky moved to find a comfortable position so as not to get too close to the man.
"Sorry, I don't want to be suspicious of you, but Mr. Rumpaka's overreacting attitude, almost touching back and keeping stare makes me uncomfortable," Sky replied bluntly while rubbing the wrist that the man had touched. Even the grip was still very much felt on the skin of her hands.
Rumpaka only smiled hearing that, even though he did not like Skyra's words.
"Profanity, profanity, profanity. Who has misbehaved with you, Sky! If I forcefully touch the sensitive area, it could be said that I have harassed and misbehaved with you, but since I haven't done anything, just stared at you using my sense of sight. Did I see you wrong?" Rumpaka replied angrily when he was suspected like that, it felt different if it was Skyra who suspected him, he didn't understand. However, if it's other women, he doesn't mind at all, even those women who want him.
"Then why does Mr. Rumpaka keep bringing the distance between us so that there is no eroding distance between us, even you look like want to touch my limbs. What do you want from me?!" Skyra did not stop asking in a firm tone, just wanting to know the purpose of the man acting strangely since earlier that made him feel uncomfortable.
Rumpaka put his hand behind Skyra's head, then pulled the hair tie that tied her long hair, so that Skyra's long hair instantly fell do her back, covering the area of the body that had been bothering her for a long time. This was what he had been wanting to do, but was hindered by Skyra's paranoia, which continued to suspect him.
The woman rolled her eyes at Rumpaka's unusual treatment, even though her brain had not yet properly digested the man's intention to undo her hair, which was already neat and difficult to tie.
"What is Mr. Rum doing?"
The man immediately put his index finger to Skyra's parted lips, telling him to be quiet because his work done yet.
"I'm deliberately letting your hair down to cover your clothes which are quite transparent, it is clear that the bra you are wearing is colored ..." replied Rumpaka informed and interspersed with a seductive smile.
"Black," whispered Rumpaka while smiling contentedly beside Skyra's ear, imagining what she had seen earlier. Although he often sees other women, it feels different when he sees the woman who catches his attention. He did not understand why he was so attracted to Skyra, so he didn't want her to be the center of attention of other men.
"Could it be that you want to seduce my clients by wearing a transparent shirt like this? Did you do it on purpose or what?"
Sky quickly turned her eyes to the clothes she was wearing, without responding to a whisper from the man. And what her boss said was true. She forgot that she not wearing a camisole to cover her visible bra. Sky immediately covered his body with both hands, avoiding Rumpaka's gaze that occasionally went to his clothes, man may have enjoyed it from the start.
"If you wear a white shirt that is slightly transparent, you have to wear a shirt again so you don't show your body color, or maybe you want to tease me," said Rumpaka who sounded so considerate and continued to tease him, even though the woman's attitude had made him angry.
"I don't want you to be the object of the spectacle of people here or my clients later because it is obvious," said Rumpaka with a charming smile. Something that was rarely done before with any woman, maybe only to Nathania, but not interspersed with feelings of heart, in contrast to Skyra, a woman he had only known this morning and had been able to make him act like this.
Skyra was really by the attention that man gave her, she didn't even think that the man she thought of as someone who was impudent and a jerk would actuallonsiderate. The disdain being heard from people's mouths was a far cry from his attitude tonight like a hero who pays attention to the details of women's clothing.
"Sorry, I forgot, sir. Because I was in a hurry to go here after doing important things, maybe because it made me forget not to wear the underwear I usually wear," replied Sky still covering her body with both palms.
"It's good that you forgot." Rumpaka reached into his cellphone first because he wanted to contact someone, then walked a little away from the woman's whereabouts. However, his brow furrowed when there was a call from one of the clients who had not arrived until now and it was answered why the four had not arrived because the traffic jams on the streets of the capital city were so bad that his arrival would be a few minutes late. Some messages are implied with apologies.
Rumpaka turned his gaze to Skyra that seemed to be paying attention to her clothes, the girl felt uncomfortable with her appearance now that he told him. And maybe his client's tardiness could be used to get her new clothes.
"Hello Dave," said Rumpaka who called his accomplice.
"Yes, Mr. Rum, what's wrong?" a voice came from there.
"You brought the women's shirts and undershirts to the Lounge in The Sky Restaurant, now and very important."
"For what, sir?"
"Don't ask too many questions, Dave! Just do my bidding. Remember! Don't use it for long!" Rumpaka said immediately, glancing at the luxurious clock on his arm. His clients would be arriving in twenty minutes, he wished Dave had come before the other four.
Rumpaka ended his chat with Dave and walked back closer to Skyra that was still silent.
"Wait here, Dave will bring you a shirt and t-shirt. Before meeting my clients, change your clothes first so you feel comfortable," said Rumpaka who informed.
"Why did you bother so much that you had to bring me new clothes. After all, no one will pay attention to me anyway. In this place, many women wear clothes that are much more revealing than me, and my long hair has fallen so it can cover the back area," said Sky, who didn't like the man's caring attitude, who was afraid of being misunderstood later.
According to him, Rumpaka's attitude was too excessive, so he tried to keep his distance from his superiors, not to be carried further by all forms of attention. She is guarding her heart, because until whenever nothing can replace his feelings of love for his late lover. Although it is difficult because she will continue to live for an indefinite period, and every woman's desire is to get married, for now, it feels like she has not been able to open her heart again.
Either because he was tired or he didn't want to spend his energy anymore to respond to the stubborn attitude of the woman in front of him. Rumpaka just smiled faintly with a relaxed and not too serious face, while Skyra's facial expression said that she didn't like the form of attention from earlier.
"It's fine with you but it's a big problem for me. Didn't I say before, I don't want people to pay attention to circumstances that might interfere with their sight and thoughts. Yes, you just have to follow my orders, what's so hard!" snapped Rumpaka that can't contain his emotions at the innocence of the woman who still refused.
"WHAT'S WRONG WITH MR. RUMPAKA?!" Skyra didn't want to lose, the woman bluffed back with eyes wide.
"I am nothing to you! Mr. Rumpaka doesn't overdo it in paying attention to me and acts naturally as loyal as a boss to most employees. Honestly, I don't like your attitude, so why should you behave like this to an employee who has only been working for your company for a month!" said Sky throwing out what had been stuck in his mind for a long time.
The woman's words of course made Rumpaka also get emotional. It was the first time in his life that he met and knew a stubborn woman who dared to bully him. Bullying Andreas Bentala Rumpaka, when several women want to be with him, but the woman refuses all forms of attention. However, on the other hand, he also felt strange with his exaggerated attitude, is it because of his attraction to the woman that made him change his attitude to look stupid. If you look further, every woman who catches her eye is never given more attention, because it will end up the same. Then, what about Skyra? Had he fallen in love with her, he could not lie to himself with those feelings that suddenly grew in his heart.
"Because I'm attracted to you, Sky," said the man with a sigh at the same time as he touched her head. There was no skeptical face when Rumpaka expressed his feelings. Either attracted temporarily or interested in the long term and ended up falling in love.
Skyra was still made silent, digesting the sentence that pierced her heart. Honestly, she couldn't immediately believe Rumpaka's words, maybe that sentence was also often said to women who caught his attention, so it wasn't just one woman. Just a short word but it can make him awkward. Which woman wouldn't be embarrassed if a man was attracted to her, even though she didn't expect it because her heart was still fused with Nirankara, making it difficult to glance at other men?
Sky threw Rumpaka's hand that was stroking her hair. She tried to think that if the sentence was just a joke, it was impossible for a handsome, rich man who was idolized by many women to like a woman like him. That is impossible in this world.
Skyra tried to smile, brushing off the awkwardness with the man's sudden expression of feelings. They've only known each other for one day, even though they've been working for the company for over a month, they've never met, let alone faced each other. How can have feelings in such a short time?
"I already have a lover, improbable to glance at you, Sir," said Sky, which broke Rumpaka's heart instantly with the reality, even though there was no man who could replace Nirankara's place in her heart, even though the man would never return. Meanwhile, her relationship with the old man was only temporary, limited to a symbiotic mutualism. If the job is done, of course, she will go.
